Tracking MailChimp Signups: Referral Source and Page?

Hi,
I'm using MailChimp as well as Google Analytics and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me of a way to track the MailChimp newsletter signups to see:

1) what page on my website did they signup from?
2) what was traffic source from which they cam?

Clearly I know how to veiw traffic sources and pages in GA, I just can't seem to find a way to log this MailChimp "click".

(not I have a link on each one of my pages that someone can click on to signup. the link redirects to the mailchimp hosted signup page).

Thanks.

  • Regardless of the autoresponder software you're using
    for your list, you'll need to set-up some hidden fields
    in your web form to accept the Google Analytics data.

    I use a Lead Source php script that reads the Google
    Analytics cookie data and then autopopulates the
    hidden fields for the relevant information.

    Here's an article I learned the technique from:

    Infusion CRM and Analytics (no affil.)

    It takes a bit of coding so if that's not your strong suit
    then you can always outsource it.

    Dedicated to mutual success,

  • If you wanted to, you can echo back the URL of the page and have that pre-fill a hidden field in a form. I'm not very familiar with MailChimp, but I think this is possible.
  • I will check out these suggestions -- thank you!
